The Eb Vortex Barrel for Eb Clarinet is a 42mm barrel handcrafted in Ebony by Florian Popa. Popa describes the barrel as the ‘brain’ of the clarinet, capable of improving resonance timbre and sound transmission. The idea behind the range of Vortex barrels, was to design a barrel that achieves a single direction of molecular movement, which in turn would increase resonance and tone.
Crafted in Ebony over 100 years old, the Eb Vortex Barrel is a versatile barrel that is designed especially for soloists and will work well in any musical setting.
The Vortex barrel helps to create a more focused sound, whilst maintaining a rich velvety tone. It is because of the way the air and harmonics are channelled through this barrel, that the clarinets performance in higher registers is improved and a richness is achieved.
The Eb Vortex barrel can work with you to achieve your own individual and unique sound. This customisation is a simple way to alter your clarinets tone and to improve your instruments overall response.
Each of the Vortex barrels come with magnetic points, which allow for the attachment of Popa’s unique PowerSound. An energising crystal, which increases the energy and controls the orientation of the sound waves. Purifying the sound and eliminating static electricity from your instrument which can affect the overall tone and projection.
